One of the more relaxed events held during the annual Pebble Beach carnival, the Legends of the Autobahn concours is a haven for BMW, Audi, and Mercedes-Benz geeks. Packed with cars ranging from BMW 2002s to Audi RS4s to Mercedes 300SLs, not to mention a few Porsches, 2014 marked the event’s fifth year and a change in venue from one golf club (Rancho Canada, now home to the Porsche club’s Werks Reunion) to another (Nicklaus Club-Monterey).

The BMW, Audi, and Mercedes clubs of America are well represented in terms of both their displays and constituencies, and the manufacturers themselves also lend support. BMW, for example, often brings several cars to the proceedings; this year, it displayed the special one-off i8 Pebble Beach Concours d’Elegance Edition, a street M1, a race M1, and the 1999 Le Mans–winning V12 LMR, among several others.

Keith Martin of Sports Car Market and What’s My Car Worth? was on hand to dole out awards across several classes, but unlike, say, the main Pebble concours on Sunday, the atmosphere at Legends is far more convivial than competitive. Everyone in attendance is there for the love of German metal—and we’re not talking about Till Lindemann’s outfit—and that exuberance courses through showgoers and those with cars on display alike. Pop into the gallery to check out the wide array of stuff from the 2014 Legends of the Autobahn, including one of the two BMW 700RS race cars ever built.
